why cat claim new tire?still wan askin us pay the tire thread we have use b4...?

If tyre new, they give new tyre, but most of the time tyre already used for some time, so they give claim according to thread balance....

I had the chance to use the German Made GS-D3 last time and it was fantastic in the wet, but for aquaplaning resistance that is. For wet traction and cornering, slightly on the poorer side but not bad. Not too sure of the Thai made ones.
However this tyre is being replaced by the GY F1 D5 (Directional 5)

gsd3 n gsd5 is an all rounder daily use tyre where it will give you pretty much what you need in all areas (traction in dry n wet, comfort n noise level, etc), FYI there are better all rounder tyres in the market from diff manufacturer too.....

 

[vr2turbo]

GS-D3 tyres are pretty noisy when worn and becomes uneven.
F1 D5, not GS-D5 are new. Aquaplaning resistance is not that good over GS-D3 but improved in ride comfort and dry traction....

 

[WPQ800]

agree with the noise.......

 

[vr2turbo]

agree with the noise.......

Yup, one of the main complaints of most owners......

 

[perdana54]

as for me I've used R1R,Pirelli Pzero Rosso and currently running on Potenza RE001 on my PV6 all this years. all are in 215/45/17

R1R...basically gives u good grip while they are in their new condition but extremely dangerous in wet when they nearing their other 50% lifespan.
Pzero Rosso.....nuthing much as it mets its expectation....damm nice rubbers nice handling,good grip,but wear out very fast.
Potenza RE001...oni a month old....a lil bit bumpy n noisy..but seems never dissapoint me....

 

[vr2turbo]

The Toyo seems to be like this, even the T-1R that I use before.
One month old RE-001, but RE-002 already out......??

Got it cheaper??

 

[jimmyae101]

yes..make sure u get new tire...or u get more discount if u give old tire..last year tire..check or telling boss,u wan new tire..2011 week almost 35 i think...so u will get 3511 number in tire..maybe u know to check it out right...

 

[vr2turbo]

Usually, the tyre shop people by hook or by crook will try to get rid of the old tyres at higher price. Once they find out customer knows how to see they will change stories.
Older tyres that can be used like more then 1 year old, ask for more discount as if like consumer goods reaching expiry date......

 

[jimmyae101]

yes..still can accept old tire but in reasonable price askin more discount from them.unless for ppl who dunno about it...really kena potong by them.
getting old tire in new tire price...always check tire all which they drop out for u first,make sure all tire is same date...unless u talk with boss already that u accept old tire in cheaper price...i kena once as staff give me a old tire...after knowin i am know.they change story...most important is price also drop..and i accept it.

 

[vr2turbo]

Cannot lari already, since you know. Either they remove and fit new one or give discount.....

I plan to replace my rear tyre using either this both tyre Toyo R1R or Kumho K36. I get both used at 60% treadware at same price. So which 1 should i choose?. I'm not into track and will be using as daily drive.

 

[PocketRocket]

R1r > ku36

Why used extreme tyres if only using for daily drives?

Daily drive don't go all out loh! Use in track.....

 

[pwhyze]

I've used R1Rs previously, now I'm looking for something that won't hurt my wallet as much. Any recommendations for sub RM300? Can get KU36 at that price? It's for 195/55/R15.

What's the closet tire under Max Performance that I can go for that is near Extreme tire?

Btw, Quicksave is selling 195/55/R15. AD08R at 360 per pc. Limited stock though..so if interested better hurry!

Daily drive don't go all out loh! Use in track.....

R1R as a daily ok leh...not that bad. But if you see rain, better go to left lane siap2...haha
